Drug Treatment for court appointed clients are for individuals in Girard who have been sent to drug treatment as part of a sentence which has been issued because of a drug or alcohol related crime. Court appointed clients in Girard are often sent to enroll into a drug rehab program in lieu of other justice actions such as heavy fines and jail time. This is most often the case with first time offenders. This method of rehabilitating the criminal instead of punishing them has proven very helpful in Girard, not only in getting the individual abstinent or sober, but also in keeping them out of the criminal justice system for the same substance abuse related crimes in the future.
